Despite the clash, the horror-comedy emerged victorious at the box office and broke records set by other films in the recent past. `Stree 2` has become the highest opener of 2024 surpassing Fighter and Kalki 2898 AD`s Hindi version.
The makers of Stree 2 officially released the film on August 15 but had paid previews in select cinema halls across the country on the night of August 14. The combined total of first day and paid previews has come to Rs 64.8 cr.
